The Passage by Justin Cronin
5.0

I WON THIS ON FIRST READS!!! YAYYY! Can't wait to read it :) I'll update as soon as I get the book! Thanks!!!!

I am going to give a very straight up and honest review here. This book was sooooo very long! It took me several weeks to read (usually takes me a week to read any book). It was very intense, very well written. It was not the kind of book in which you could skip the "boring" parts and go right to the end. You had to consume every single word. And that's what I did. I want to compare this book to so many different works I've read... but in the end, it still holds its very own. With similarities to Stephen King's The Stand and Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead series, this book combines all of the heart and all of the suspense, twists and turns that the before mentioned do. I would read this again which is not something I usually do, no matter how much I love a book. And I cannot wait until the sequel "The Twelve" comes out because I'm dying to read how Amy's story ends. Beautiful, haunting.. incredible. Good...no...GREAT read! Thanks Goodreads for giving me the opportunity to read this selection.
